We visited with the Kids Fest in mind and had a fab time! This exceeded our expectations and was enjoyable for our 2 year old up to our 9 year old!

Highly recommend for a kids holiday day out!

We thought the Lee Valley Kids Fest was brilliant. It’s an all-inclusive ticket for everything from rides, and foam party, to climbing gyms, shows and animals to see. Best value for money kids day out we have done this summer. Highly recommend!
